2014 / 0:08:00

Within Skin addresses memory, trauma and the way they manifest in the body. The piece is structured like a dream with loosely related images blending into one another to form a psychological allegory. As the imagery and sound become more charged, the dream shifts into a nightmare and an atmosphere of tension, distress and anxiety take over. The nightmare eventually recedes and gives way to images of bruises, scars and scabs— marks of trauma, but also signs of healing.

They call themselves the Sunshine family, have lively discussions about politics and gas prices, take trips and are faithfully devoted to each other after many years of marriage, including the good morning kiss... Mrs. Müller loves Mr. Müller, and he loves her unconditionally. They’ve been married for 45 years now. 18 years ago he suffered a stroke with a subsequent locked-in-syndrome, Mr. Müller is no longer able to talk, and can merely move his eyelid and one thumb. With the help of portable lifts and a wheelchair, Mrs. Müller lifts him out of bed, takes him for walks and feeds him beer through his stomach tube. Most of all, she helps him communicate with coded messages by blinking. Mrs. Müller laughs, Mr. Müller grins. The film tells the story of their love. Even though Mr. Müller is no longer able to talk, this couple has way more to say than many others.
